Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
This looks like it has gone through a full rebuild.

“1953 Willy CJ3A Newly frame up Restoration 95% Accurate. Has been converted to 12v converting original parts to 12v. It has to be seen and driven to truly know how a brand new Willys was to drive in 1953. Every nut and bolt are new. Come see it”
Given the extra body, this may be worth a look.

“1949 Jeep with spare parts Does not run, no engine, has spare tub, fenders hood, springs, drive shafts, body rough on extra tub and rolling jeep. Can be used as parts or to put back together, have Transmission and transfer case that can be rebuilt with newer synchros and small bearing kits included, not all new bearings are there. This Jeep is not put together. Pictures show it will roll, but tub will have to be loaded separately. I have a Nevada Title that goes with it, but not in my name, it was signed by the previous owner. I will not answer to is it still available, once it is sold, it will be marked as sold and removed”
Unclear how much value is here.

Looks like someone did a spring-over on this one, but decided to keep the drivetrain dropped.

The seller has a lot of money into this, but the jeep remains in pieces. The pic below was taken prior to it being disassembled.

“Hello, I have a 1952 Willys CJ3A project for sale. I have had it for about 25 years now and don’t see myself finishing it anytime soon. So it’s time for it to move on. I have about $12k into it and it’s still in pieces. I bought the replacement panels and $4k in parts (see lists in photos). I also had engine completely gone through, machined, and professionally rebuilt ($3k) with hardened vavle seat so it is good for todays gas. It has a Dana 44 rear axle, original heater, professionally rebuilt front and rear driveshafts, and quite a few spare parts including a spare transmission and transfer case. I also have a full steel hard top (no side doors) and a half cab/doors. Have clean title too. I also attached a couple photos of when it was together. I would like to get $6k because there is $4k in parts on the lists alone, $3k in the engine, plus everything else. Open to offers/trades especially a for 55’-59’ Chevy/GMC truck driver/solid project. Goose neck livestock trailer w/lvg qrtrs.”
This has a variety of updates, including a Warn OD. Note the various controls installed on the top of the inner windshield.

I thought I would use this in the mountains while camping but have barely driven it in the 3+ years I’ve owned it. It’s time to move on and let someone else enjoy it. Asking $6000 OBO”
This has a Porter & Reed hardtop. Seems there is value here.

“So, this has been in my family for quite a while. Believe my great grandpa ‘created’ this back in the 80’s and would mainly use it as a hunting vehicle. To my understanding mostly all the exterior is fiberglass, cab space is mainly sheet metal, engine and chassis are from an old jeep (willys jeep or jeep CJ) sometime in the 1940’s-60’s. Price is OBO, if you think you have any info on the chassis and engine based on the pictures let me know, I would like to learn more about it myself. Have the cylinder head and other parts but are in kind of rough shape as you could assume”
Engine is stuck.

“1949 Jeep Willys Jeep CJ3A. Been sitting since early 80s, have Dana 25 axles to swap with a willys wagon frame. The willys is 100% complete down to the key and 6v battery from the 80s. The motor is currently stuck but has been bathing in mystery oil the last few months. It was parked due to front axle situation. No title but your local tow yard can get you one for cheap. The frame is solid however tub has some rot, which is reflected in the price. If you are looking for an unmolested project, here is your chance! ”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/10/2023) It’s a project that sounds like it must be sold.
